And by faith we shall see it afar...
In the sweet by and by
We shall meet on that eautiful shore.
Continue to Rest In Peace dearest sister.
If ever there's a deep sigh of grief,
If ever there's a sense of loss,
If ever the tears can't stop falling,
If ever..?
None singly or collectively,
Can express your loss,
Or the void it's caused.

Sis, it's been three years since you answered the roll call, and left us all to fend for ourselves. One of your last few comments was, "if God doesn't heal me here on earth, He will heal me up in heaven." We are comforted by that belief that you are now wholly healed, and in pain no more. How we wish you were still with us in body! May the angels always serenade you and carry you, as you Rest In Peace for evermore. We love and miss you soooo much. Sleep sis, and take your promised rest. You fought a good hard and long fight Lorna, and in the end, you gained eternity in His Glory. Rest In Peace sis!
❤️
Not a day goes by without thoughts of you running through my mind. I often wonder what you're doing, and how you are. Today, on this your 3rd birthday in heaven, I pray you've had a beautiful day with our parents and all the angels in heaven. May Jesus continue to hold you in His bosom and rock you to sleep every day. Sleep well my sister, and we shall meet again in God's sweet time.
Happy posthumous 61st birthday Lorna French! I love and miss you tremendously... xoxoxo❣️
Know that you are missed sorely. Fond memories are kept in the hearts of many who love you. Your bright spirit lives on within us. Rest peacefully. -Rita-
Ecclesiastes 3:1 - 3:15
1 To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that [there is] no good in them, but for [a man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it [is] the gift of God.
14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth [it], that [men] should fear before him.
15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.” -George Eliot
Happy birthday in heaven, sis. I love and miss you very much. Happy birthday Lorna French!!! ❤️
Khalil Gibran
Lorna,
We are blessed for having known you and may you find perpetual peace. I hope you are spending this great day with angels and seraphins. Happy birthday.
I see darkness,
I run to it.
It's a hole,
A deep, dark hole.
Its quietness is thunderous!
It's mystery eery.
I see people falling in it.
One by one, by one, by one...
No one ascends from it.
I call out the names of those I see descend it.
No one answers!
Why?
I sob uncontrollably.
I feel a gentle hand wipe my tears away,
And a familiar voice says,
"I am well sis, cry no more for me.
I am healed by death, and alive for eternity."

I love you Aunty Lorna AKA mummy and will forever do. I will concontinue to be the woman i promised you i will be. #forever missed#
Continue to RIP
Seasons change - God made it that way,
But Love in the Heart remains - God made it that way.
Seasonal colors fade from bright to dull,
Memories never fade; in the mind, brightly they glow.
Seasonal temperatures fluctuate over time,
Warmth of a Friend is consistent like an hourly chime.
Seasons of Life ebb and flow like the tide,
Spiritual connections spread far and wide.
Dear Lorna, I know that you are just resting,
Until Jesus returns, all His glory manifesting!
Rest In Peace, Sister In Christ

mummy your thought, memory and of course your name linger in our hearts and mouths everyday. I really miss you mummy, so much has happened in the last 9 months, all joyous news and you are not here to see the woman i am turning into, the woman you contributed greatly in becoming who she is presently and the heights she will attain.
I love u mummy. forever missed indeed.
Aunty Lettie.
Live On, My Sister
Your spirit lives on
Though your soul is now free,
You've always been happy in Jesus
Now, with Him, you shall be.
You touched the lives
Of all you knew...
With your winning smile
And words of comfort and virtue.
No more pain, no more hurt,
And no more uncertainty,
For, as He has promised
God has given you the victory!
In Memory Always,
Rita Brown

Rest in perfect peace!
Mensah and the rest of the Mensah-Coker Family
One of the great treasures of being raised by Grandparents is knowing the extended family and having a connection with them. You Aunty Lorna was one such great treasure. As a little child I remember when you lived on Kissy Road. I remember how much your home was always full of love whenever Arnold and I came over to play. I remember your many visits to Ross Road and how much it was such a delight to see you even after you moved. I loved visiting you even as I grew up and learned to hold on to my family without Grandma and Grandpa.
You made the very first birthday cake I ever had!!! My 8th birthday. It meant so much to me. It was so beautiful and so yummy. I was so sad when it finished because it was so special to me. I will never forget that. I just took time to look back on past emails and Facebook messages. I am so grateful that time and distance did not keep you away. You were so generous and so gentle Aunty. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement to keep pressing on and working hard. Thank you for the beauty of your soul. I wish this was a tribute made while you were alive but of course you are alive in a whole new realm and dimension. I pray the angels carry these incredible messages of your rich and full life to you. As your physical body is laid to rest today may you know you are dearly loved and every life that met your spirit was never ever the same again.
I pray that Uncle George, Brian, Lara, Marvel, Latika, Aunty Leilah, Uncles Charles and Lorenzo and the rest of the family and friends will be deeply comforted by the joy, faith, hope, strength, stories and life you shared with everyone. Sickness did not keep you down and death...well...as you know death has been swallowed up in victory. Miss you desperately and love you forever.
Baby LAL our Beloved cousin and cousin -in-Law. Your passing away has left a vacuum in the family. We will greatly miss your love and companionship. The loss of a loved one is never easy and sometimes harder to accept. Questions that never got answered.
In the midst of all these, The Lord will draw us near and be our comfort.
Blessed are the Dead which die in the Lord. That they may rest from their labours and their works do follow them.
May the Lord grant you eternal Rest.
A heart so beautifully kind
So soft a voice, so sweet a smile
An inspiration so worth the while
A love so pure, so deep
A memory so beautiful to keep
Fare thee well Aunty Lorna
Knowing you was such an honor
O nce a friend always a friend that was you
R eliable, dependable, always there for all
N ever angry,never bitter even when hurt
A lready in heaven I kno; coz that's where U belong
ADIEU MY SISTER AND FRIEND- MAY U REST IN PEACE
By Venetia Macarthy
From what I have heard about you, from those close and even those feebly acquainted, you were an embodiment of God's wish on Earth. You touched so many in such a strong positive way. The kind of person we all yearn to be everyday when we wake up in the morning. If only one-third of the world were like you, what a wonderful place Earth would've been. But you've left behind, a lesson on humanity. How we ought to conduct our lives toward each other, as creation of God. Thank you for the meaningful contribution you've made to mankind. You've left an indelible mark that would carry your memory for a long time yet, in the honor it deserves. Your work here is done. Go gracefully in the peace you've earned. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. God bless.
I thought I saw her face today
In the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Her work on earth is done."
I thought I heard her voice today
Then laugh her hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
"There's peace little one at last."
I thought I felt her touch today
In the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The spirit never dies."
I thought that she had left me
For the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
"She left you with her love."
I thought that I would miss her
And never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
"She's with you every day."

Sleep on Beloved till We meet again to part no more!!!!!
One last battle u could not finish fighting. Monday was extremely long and so was the night, then came Tuesday morning. I knew u would leave me soon as I looked into your eyes knowing we could no longer be together on earth.
You fought so hard to stay with us, but now all I look at is a photo just to see that beautiful smile of yours coz I have no choice.
Great memories I will always keep in my heart and for eternity I will always love u.
I will never understand why He called u home so soon so I won't try to question Him, but one thing I know is that God is looking after u for me till I can join you.
Love u forever. Xxx ALISON

Email from Dr. Edusa
An email from Lorna's oncologist in Ghana:
Thank you for letting me know of this sad News.
Lorna was more than a patient.She was a wonderful and a kind person.
Always worried for other people and shelving her own problems.
Heaven has a NEW ANGEL!
My Condolences to you and Lornas family members.
Knack for remembering people
I have never know any human being that knows so many people. She would tell you where they met, when and even the circumstances related to the meeting. It gets even better with family members. She'll give you the whole family tree to the point you have to stop her and have her back up a little. The only other 2 people I know that has the same ability is our dad and his sister, mamma Clarice Wilson. Wished I was that good. My sister Leilah is not far behind. Rest in peace sis.
